PDX Pop Now! is dedicated to stimulating and expanding participation in Portland music. As an all-volunteer organization committed to being accessible, current, and local, we provide and support live performances and recorded materials. We aspire to advance a sustainable community which values inclusivity and a high caliber of artistry to enable a creative dialogue between artist and audience.

This year’s festival took place July 28 – 30, 2006 at Loveland, and boy was it awesome. Here are some photos from the weekend. If you have some you’d like to add, please chuck them into our Flickr group.

All About PDX Pop Now!

We’re a group of local musicians, writers, and fans from the PDX-POP mailing list who’ve coalesced around the idea of organizing a free local music festival. Our mission is to celebrate not only the bands who’ve achieved “success”, but also the amazing lesser-known bands around town. PDX-Pop Now! is a local music event meant for everyone. No matter what age you are, or what type of music you listen to, our goal is to provide you one place to catch some of Portland’s finest, in a safe and fun atmosphere.

PDX-Pop Now! is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting music made in Portland, Oregon. Through efforts like the PDX-Pop Now! Music Festival and the PDX-Pop Now! compilation CDs, we strive to expand Portland’s music audience, and to enhance the sense of unity and purpose within our community. We hope you enjoy our events and join us in our celebration of local music. The nation has turned its ear towards Portland, and we hope to help our diverse musical community make a loud roar!

With Loveland generously donating its space for two days and three nights worth of shows from July 28th through 30th, PDX Pop Now! is a local music event meant for EVERYONE. No matter what age you are, or what type of music you listen to, our goal is to provide you one place to catch some of Portland’s finest, in a safe and fun atmosphere. Who knows? Maybe next year, you’ll start your own music festival!
